Spent a great day with our tour guide, Vlad, during our stop in Montenegro. Our first stop was the Our Lafy of PerastChurch. Amazing. Next, we went to Budva and we finished our day touring the old city. Loved our day. Next time, I would pass on Budva as it was a good drive away, but glad that we sat it. Mont Travellers had great communication all the way through our excursion. They were easy to book with and easy to do business with. Highly recommend

This was one of the highlights of our time in Montenegro. Aleksandar was knowledgeable, engaging, and effortlessly accommodating. He has a calm, intuitive way about him, always anticipating what would make the experience better and giving us the space to really take it all in. We didn’t just see Montenegro, we understood it. I would recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation.

Montenegro is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The water & history is incredible. Our guide Andrija is one of the most spectacular guides. His knowledge is unparalleled. His kindness is incredible. His wanting to share his beautiful country is fabulous. The only thing is the traffic makes it somewhat hard.
Thank you so much for the lovely words! We’re happy you enjoyed Montenegro and that Andrija made your experience even better — he truly loves sharing this beautiful country. Traffic can be tricky sometimes, but we’re glad the rest made up for it. Hope to see you again soon! Mont Travelers Team
It was a great experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour.
Our guide was amazing! He was very well-informed and helpful and was a fascinating story-teller. He made history and culture come alive! He was very passionate about his country but honest and balanced.
Our guide was excellent. Walking around the Old City and taking us to beautiful places. In addition to the Old City we visited Our Lady of the Rocks, Budva and St Stevan. He explained the history of the places we visited and made us feel welcome. Very enjoyable day.
We had a great time with Vladimir who was our guide through Kotor. He took us to Budva Riviera, Our Lady of the Rocks and a tour through Old Town. Our tour was thorough and informative.
Vladimir was extremely knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. The tour was an excellent way to explore beautiful Montenegro while learning about the history along the way. It was the best tour we have ever done anywhere and we really enjoyed it. Thank you Vladimir!
Vladimir was waiting for us when we got of the cruise ship. What a beautiful city and a perfect tour. We went to Perast first and were able to beat the crowds to the town and to the boats that take you to the beautiful Our Lady of the Rocks church. We skipped going to Budva due to concerns around traffic due to a race that was scheduled for the day, but spent the extra time enjoying the wonderful old town of Kotor.
